Opportunity Summary:
The Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00171) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, discretionary funding notice for a cooperative agreement supporting the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area. The purpose of the agreement is essentially administrative and programmatic: it is meant to clearly document the roles and responsibilities of the involved parties as they carry out the purposes of the authorizing Act and implement the area Management Plan. The work covered by the agreement spans several core functions needed to run and sustain a national heritage area partnership, including administration and operations, marketing and visitor services, planning, resource inventory, resource development and interpretation, and the management of grants and subgrants.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and is not requesting applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice of NPS intent to make a single-source award to a specific recipient, the Arabia Mountain Heritage Area Alliance. In other words, the agency is indicating that it plans to fund this project without full and open competition, and the posting is primarily to document that intent publicly rather than to invite proposals from multiple applicants.
The anticipated award amount is up to an estimated total of $300,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and an award floor listed as $0. The opportunity lists a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the supported activities in accordance with the terms of the cooperative agreement and any applicable program rules. Only one award is expected.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance) and is categorized under community development. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond what would occur under a standard grant. The posting date and creation date are June 22, 2015, and the archive date is July 6, 2015. The closing date fields reiterate that this is a notice of intent for a single-source award and not a request for applications.
While the general eligibility category references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the practical eligibility here is constrained by the single-source nature of the announcement: NPS is specifically announcing its intent to fund the Arabia Mountain Heritage Area Alliance. For additional details, the notice points to Grants.gov, and the listed contact for access issues is Alison Smith, Grants Management Specialist, at 404-507-5754 or AlisonSmith@nps.gov.
